How is DCM similar to organizations in the Charlotte/ SC area?
South Carolina has only one girls home for trafficked girls. DCM will be the second rehabilitation home in South Carolina. When girls are rescued, there are not enough places to be taken to begin their journey of healing. DCM’s focus is on a long-term residential rehabilitation program designed to meet their emotional, physical, spiritual, and educational needs. The home will provide life skills training, educational opportunities, counseling and other necessary services that will prepare the girls for re-entry into mainstream society with the confidence to walk in their destiny.
How is the Campus funded?
We are totally reliant on donations from individuals, grants, corporations, fund raisers, and our resale store.
How do rescued survivors come to the Campus?
Individuals will come to us via other safe homes, law enforcement organizations, sponsors, social services, department of juvenile justice, and other referrals. We are in frequent discussions with other facilities with similar goals.
How long will the girls live on the Campus?
12-15 months sequestered living, 1-3 years under supervised, mentored and monitored living.
